Description
Wales from coast to mountains and cities.
A cycling circuit through Wales offers encounters with the Pembrokeshire coast, the Eryri mountain ranges, historic cities, and the quieter borderlands. The book links these landscapes together in a larger itinerary. It simultaneously demonstrates how shorter sections can be selected, ensuring you do not need to complete the entire circuit to benefit from the routes and planning information in the guide.
One major circuit and six cross-links.
The main route is approximately 1057 kilometers long and is described in twelve stages. Six cross-links can be used as standalone day or weekend trips or to create smaller versions of the circuit. This provides many opportunities to choose an itinerary based on time and fitness, making the book relevant even when you wish to explore Wales through several different cycling holidays over time.
Maps and practical choices for execution.
Route descriptions and maps provide support for following the tracks and assessing the connections between them. Suggested schedules help you compare different paces, while practical information supports the planning of travel and stays. The guide makes it easier to see which sections fit together before you choose accommodation and decide how many days to spend on the relevant circuit.
Choose stage lengths with the hills in mind.
Wales has significant elevation changes even when the routes do not pass through high mountains. Wind and weather can also affect daily form and progress. The guide is suitable for cycle tourists who want a flexible selection and can use the stages as a tool, with room to choose shorter itineraries and extra breaks rather than following a fixed program regardless of conditions throughout the holiday.
A long tradition of hiking guides.
Cicerone has published guidebooks since 1969. The publisher grew from among climbers and mountain people who wanted to share thorough knowledge of their routes – a tradition that still characterizes the publisher’s books on walking, trekking, and other outdoor experiences.
